One after another, the lightning fighters rushed into the nebula at high speed, and then, Risen immediately understood why the Imperial fleet would stay so honestly outside the nebula, instead of rushing into the nebula to find traces of Alliance One. --Phoenix-Dance-Literature-Learning-Net--

A violent explosion came from behind the tail of the lightning fighter, the cockpit was filled with dripping sirens, and various gauges, controllers, and display screens were all in chaos, and before Risen could understand what was happening, his fighter had already lost control, like a runaway leaf, thrown forward by the violent blast energy wave.

"What's going on?" Risen was taken aback, he didn't understand where the explosion in the rear came from, they were still far away from the Banshee fighters pursued by the Empire, there were no beams or missiles that could attack them at such a distance, so how did this explosion come about?

"I didn't get any warning, where did the attack come from?"

"This is Tulip Four, my fighter's converter is spinning, and I'm losing control of her......"

"Captain, my shield has been broken down and the rear stabilizer is damaged......"

"Get out of the way, Thunderbird Three, I'm going to hit you......"

Reports came and went, all bad news from reports, and the violent explosion just now affected almost all the fighters.

"Steady, steady, hurry up and control your fighters, don't panic, the enemy planes are still far away......" Risen was so nervous that his hands were sweating, his right hand tightly held the disobedient fighter cockstick, and his left hand was constantly adjusting the cockpit instrument of the fighter, fortunately those banshees were far away, otherwise, the fighter who suddenly lost control was no different from a live target.

It wasn't until he felt the joystick respond to his maneuver and the fighter regained control that he dared to be reassured that the shield system on the fighter had protected the fighter at a critical moment. His lightning was not really damaged by anything. Meters, controllers, and display screens are also gradually returning to normal.

"Damage Report." After regaining control of the plane, he glanced at the chaotic array of friendly planes around him and commanded loudly.

All the team members immediately reported one after another, most of the pilots have successfully regained control of their fighters, the powerful shield of the lightning fighter blocked most of the explosion energy, only the rear of the two fighters was slightly damaged, but it is not a very serious problem, although it may have some impact on the flight attitude, but it will not affect the control and safety of the fighter itself.

"What just happened? Tulip One. A terrified Jessica asked.

"I don't know," Risen bewildered, he glanced at the Lightning's sensor screen, but it was a jumble of unintelligible symbols. It is not fully back to normal. He hurriedly asked his friend, "Schneier, have you spotted the attacker?" ”

"No, my sensor screen is negative. Nothing was found. Hell, I took a hit for some reason, and we don't even know who the attacker is, where he came from, and what weapon he used. --Fengwu Literature Network--"A little uneasiness could be heard in his friend's voice.

As he spoke, his sensor screen display finally normalized, and Risen checked the fighter jet's sensor screen again. The screen of the sensor confirms Schneier's statement that there are no red dots nearby that represent enemy aircraft, and no yellow dots that represent incoming missiles or torpedoes, so who attacked them? Could it be that the attacker has taken some stealth measures that make his sensors undetectable?

He looked away from the cockpit screen and carefully searched his surroundings through the cockpit canopy for possible enemies, and while the distance he could see was limited, there were moments when the naked eye was more reliable and reliable than a distracted instrument, and at least so far, he had not heard of the development of visual invisibility.

However, his naked eye still did not find any enemy, and Risson, like his friend, began to feel uneasy, fighting with an invisible enemy, the initiative was completely in the hands of the other party, not knowing when, where, and from what direction the enemy would attack, it was very terrifying, which made them extremely vulnerable.

As he searched around with his eyes wide open in unease, he didn't notice a small pale blue gas swarm passing over the edge of the left wing of the Lightning. Immediately after, Risen rushed to his plane, which was thrown up again, and another explosion occurred behind the tail of his plane. However, this explosion was not as powerful as the last time, but it made his fighter shake violently, but Jessica, who was following him, was not so easy, her fighter tumbled violently, and was thrown in front of Risen by the blast energy wave.

"It's the problem of this nebula, Risson, there are no attackers, the explosion is caused by the nebula itself, the ionic tail flame of our fighter is the igniter, this nebula is dangerous." Schneier cried out in shock and urgency. The explosion happened right in front of him, without any warning at all, and there was no beam or missile or fish detonation, only the light blue ion tail flame of the lightning fighter was seen rapidly extended, and the light blue gas group flashed in front of him, and then an orange fire appeared in front of him, and the fighter began to shake violently.

Risen was stunned, Schneier's report made him understand immediately, it turned out to be the case, no wonder he couldn't find the attacker.

The interior of the interstellar nebula is generally not very calm, and under the beautiful and tranquil appearance, there are actually undercurrents surging and full of dangers. Nebulae are filled with all sorts of interstellar material – dust, gravel, or gas, and sometimes deadly radiation and particle streams. While most interstellar matter is safe, there are some very dangerous ones, such as the gas swarm that just exploded.

It seems that many nebulae in this star field are filled with such unstable and explosive gas clusters, which is why the Imperial fleet does not dare to rush into the nebula, but if Alliance One also rushes into the nebula, wouldn't it be very dangerous? The size of the Alliance One fast ship is much larger than that of the starfighter, and the starfighter may take evasive measures to avoid these explosive gas groups, but the battleship definitely can't avoid these gas groups.

However, since the Imperial fleet is not here, it means that Alliance One should not be destroyed inside the nebula. Risen couldn't figure out how Alliance One could have survived in such a dangerous environment.

"Be careful, Jessica. You're hitting a cloud of gas, so immediately move to the left. His eyes flashed, and he immediately shouted anxiously.

"I ...... My Fighter ...... Still not regaining control and not responding to my commands. His wingman screamed in panic.

"Turn off the ...... of the ion engine"

However, it was too late.

It was too late, it was too soon, and under the desperate gaze of Risen and all the pilots, Jessica had not time to take further measures, her lightning fighter had already crashed headlong into this yellow-green gas ribbon, Risen almost closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at it again, this ribbon was ten times larger than the pale blue gas cluster just now?

But, nothing happened, no explosions. Jessica's fighter remained well in the middle of this gas ribbon, unharmed. Ressen rubbed his eyes, almost incredulous.

"Jessica, are you alright?" He tried to ask.

"Uh, I'm fine, Tulip One, my lightning has regained control, the explosion didn't cause any real damage, the shield of the lightning fighter is working well" The girl looked at the fighter plane, looked around again, and asked strangely, "I thought I was dead just now, but why didn't it explode?" ”

"Not happy that it didn't explode? You picked up a life and came back. Surprised and delighted, Risen guessed, "I thought, maybe it's because of the different gas composition inside, so let me activate the scanning and analysis mode of the Lightning Fighter Sensor to see what's inside." ”

"No," he remembered something, "Jessica, what are you doing in a daze?" Immediately leave the gas belt and return to the team. ”

Although this gas ribbon has exploded now, it may never explode, but Risen doesn't want to take the risk, and it is better to let Jessica leave the unknown gas belt before starting the scanning, in case the X-ray-like scanning beam emitted by the APG-49XT series sensor of the lightning fighter will cause this gas ribbon to explode, although it is unlikely, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Risen thought it was funny, when did he become so nervous? But there's always a good thing to be careful, especially when it comes to the unknown.

"Yes, Captain." Jessica agreed, and her fighter quickly broke away from the gas band and joined the queue.

"Schneier, you go and scan the pale blue gas cluster that exploded just now, there should be some unexploded residual gas left, and then give me the data, I'll compare what the difference is."

"Roger, man."

Risen carefully approached the yellow-green band of gas, the scan beam needed to be at a considerable distance to work effectively, and at the maximum distance he confirmed was already working properly with the scan beam, it activated the sensor's scan analysis mode.

There was no explosion as he feared, and the gas ribbon was still there.

Risen laughed self-deprecatingly, it seems that he has really become a little nervous, I don't know if it's because he didn't have much rest in the two battles? When this combat operation is completed, it seems that he needs to rest well and sleep well.

The results came out quickly, and after comparing Schneier's scan data, Risen confirmed his guess that the composition of these two types of gas groups is really very different, which directly leads to their difference in spectral color, in other words, they can simply visually distinguish between stable and explosive gas groups: all light blue gas groups or gas bands, which should be avoided anyway, the ion tail flame on the tail of a fighter or battleship is the best ignition agent, and the energy beam may not detonate these gas groups, But the explosion of a quantum fish or a missile can definitely detonate it; As for other gas bands or gas bands, Risen suggested that it is best to avoid them as a last resort, even if they are other colors of gas bands or gas groups, their internal composition will definitely not be the same, and who knows what dangers are hidden there?

"All fighters, follow me, we're ......"

Before he finished his words, a few small red dots appeared, Ruison stopped talking and frowned, the empire is really ghostly, and it actually followed up.

Jessica's reported voice reached his cockpit, "Tulip One, four Imperial Banshee fighters approached from behind us. ”

"Only four?" Risen was stunned for a moment, only four planes dared to come in and challenge them fourteen lightnings? However, he immediately understood that these should be reconnaissance planes, and the main force of the Imperial fighter group should not dare to pour in on a large scale. As long as they turned around and faced the banshees, Ressen was sure that they would turn around and run away. There are only four fighters, and they definitely won't come to fight, just like their fourteen fighters don't dare to fight against seventy-two banshees.

"These are just reconnaissance planes, leave them alone, let's go, we have to hurry, find a way through this nebula to the extension, and then break into the nebula where Alliance One is located to find out what is going on. Everyone, leave your instrument alone, unless it's scan mode, the sensor can't tell the difference between explosive and stable gas groups. Now, visual flight, in a formation, follow me closely, concentrate, it looks like we're going to have an aerobatic show, it's time to go to graduate school, don't make a mistake, this is not a simulator, otherwise you will hit a gas swarm. He warned solemnly.

He still has confidence in these pilots, after a period of cruel and arduous fierce battles, those with poor technical standards have been eliminated first, the battlefield is the best testing ground, these people who can survive, their flying skills have reached a considerable level, and they also have considerable experience and courage, as long as they can concentrate and be cautious, and some luck, they can do it.

"So, what should we do if the enemy planes follow us?" Jessica asked hesitantly.

"If you want to follow, let them follow, as long as they have the courage and outstanding skills." Risen said coldly. "I'd like to see how the current Imperial pilots have grown."

He looked ahead, and in the direction they were expected to go, more than eighty percent of what caught his eye was patches of pale blue.
